Rush booked for Summerfest

The Canadian rock group Rush will headline the July 4 shows at this year's Milwaukee Summerfest. The concert at the Marcus Amphitheater will be part of the group's "Clockwork Angels Tour."

"Clockwork Angels" is the band's 20th album. Last year, it was named Album of the Year and Rush won Band of the Year at the Classic Rock Awards in London. This April, band members Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Tickets for the July 4 show will go on sale Friday at 11 a.m. at the Summerfest box office and through Ticketmaster.

Summerfest runs from June 26 through July 7. Jason Aldean, New Kids On the Block, and Tim McGraw are the three other headliners announced so far.
